The Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation (DSS) will resume their seasonal street sweeping schedule,\u00a0which lasts from April 1 to mid-November. \u00a0DSS fleet of street sweepers help to keep streets clean and prevent\u00a0dirt and debris from entering the sewer system – ultimately allowing for better drainage during a rain storm.<\/p>\n

On street cleaning days, the streets should be kept clear of\u00a0vehicles from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.<\/p>\n Vehicles that violate street-sweeping restrictions will be issued a citation and possible tow.<\/p>\n New Sweeper Tracker App Available for Residents!<\/strong> Beginning Monday, DSS street sweepers will be working to clear litter and debris that has accumulated during\u00a0winter months from residential and arterial streets across the City.<\/p>\n
